This is the best place I have ever been. For 3 years, my best friend and I have been trying to find a perfect spot. This place blew us out of the water. Delicious drinks, amazing food, and the best service I have ever had. We had a beautiful table and were greeted with great servers and the owners introduced themselves. You could tell they put their heart and soul into this place which is truly seen and adored from visitors like us! I don't have enough kind things to say other than I will come back every week and leaving was even sad!

One of our favorite places to eat in Eugene and #1 for authentic, inspired Italian dining. The food is consistently fantastic. Staff is friendly and attentive. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation over walking in. They can be busy.

I don't do reviews on Yelp often but this time I felt I had no choice, as Cafe Med deserves to have Eugenians from all parts of town know just how superb it is. I had an incredible meal, from service to atmosphere, menu options, taste and presentation. The wait staff were kind and attentive but not over bearing. The menu had a huge number of gluten-free and other food sensitive options. I sat underneath a lit up tree that was making soft squeaking noises at me as I tasted incredible flavors and enjoyed the calm vibe. I felt like I was on a 2 hour Italian vacation. Thanks cafe med! 10/10, I would recommend this spot to anyone.

Everything went well- Ambiance, service and food. The owners and chefs are from Milan so authentic Italian from appetizers to dessert, will come back tomorrow for more. The calamari is fresh and the best I've had in a long time.

Came to cafe med tonight for Mother's Day dinner and was very happy with the experience! The inside of this restaurant is super cute. Blue and white decor with string lights and rustic art. There's an outdoor covered patio as well as indoor seating. The menu had a wide selection of options, not just pasta. I loved the focaccia bread that came in the bread basket. So salty and oily. Delicious. For Mother's Day they gave mothers the option of a Bellini or mimosa on the house which I thought was so sweet! My family really appreciated that gesture. The food was super flavorful and tasted very high quality. Portions are large and filling. Service was great. Food came out fast and we felt very welcome and accommodated. Overall definitely come here if you want good Italian food or are wanting to impress some visitors!

Lovely lil pasta spot with Mediterranean vibes! I only knock off one star due to the noise - as other reviews have mentioned, this place is *loud*. No acoustics. Dinner time is very very loud compared to other restaurants mostly due to the small space. Pasta is DELICIOUS. The spinach ravioli was to die for, and the daily risotto with pesto and shrimp was a hit as well. Delicious Limencello martini!

I think we have a favorite new spot for a romantic dinner. The place has two small rooms - packed, bustling and loud, but in an exciting way. Everyone is smiling and happy and having a great time. We feel attractive in the perfect soft light. The food is exceptional. My husband had the tagliatelle Bolognese. It was delicious. Bolognese usually tastes of tomato and not much else. This had a lot of savory flavor and was so good. The proprietress caught us on the way out. She was smiling and in the zone. She asked how it was. I told her honestly it was great, and I told her that her prices are too low. Our two pastas, side of fries, limoncello martini and cappuccino came to $64. She laughed and agreed. "I'm working on it." she smiled.

Ok this is my new first choice for Italian. Lasagna is usually the first dish I try when there is a new Italian place because I always try to see if I can get lasagna that is as good as the lasagna that my friend's Italian mother taught me to make in Italy. Well, here it is! In Eugene too! The family running it and the chef are from Italy so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. My husband got the farfalle with salmon. He enjoyed it a lot, the pasta was perfectly al dente and the vodka sauce compliments the salmon well! When we asked if the pasta was made in house we were told the pasta is made in Italy and flash frozen and sent to Eugene for the restaurant, how cool! They bring you focaccia bread and balsamic and oil before the meal that was also delicious. The service was also great! We were not disappointed with anything. The space is small inside and probably seats about 24 total plus a few bar seats. They have an additional sunroom type outdoorish seating area that probably seats another 12-15 more. So reservations are definitely a good idea especially as more people discover this gem. The interior has a good ambiance it feels nice but not so fancy that you'd need to dress up a ton. It does get loud in there when it is full so they could probably use some sound dampening to help with the noise. This place is also located about a stones throw from another local Italian place so it will be interesting to see if they affect each other's business or not! I'm looking forward to coming back to try more pasta as well as the classic pinsa made with with '00' flour. 10/10 recommend checking it out!
